The Cartford Inn

At the heart of Lancashire’s Fylde countryside, the riverside location of The Cartford Inn boasts spectacular views of the peaceful riverscape and the dramatic Bowland fells beyond. Once a coaching inn at the historic crossing of the River Wyre, the 17th century inn is now a multi award-winning gastropub and hotel with 15, individually designed and furnished, luxury bedrooms.

Inside, enjoy some of the region’s best food and drink in one of the uniquely styled dining areas. The Cartford Inn is noted for its individuality and contemporary rural-chic style. The bar alcoves and fireside areas allow for relaxed, informal dining experiences, whilst the River Lounge restaurant features panoramic views of the countryside. On Summer evenings these views can be enjoyed outside, whilst eating or drinking on the newly landscaped al-fresco dining terrace.

The menu showcases the best produce from across Lancashire, including meat from nearby farms and fish landed at Fleetwood docks. Ingredients are prepared skilfully and sensitively to create favourite British dishes along with more adventurous cooking. A proprietary French influence is also noticeable.

Each of the inn’s fifteen luxury bedrooms, including the penthouse suite, is individually decorated and furnished with the same style and attention to detail as the rest of the inn. Wake up to stunning views overlooking the river and enjoy an award-winning breakfast.

Although tucked away in the peaceful Lancashire countryside, The Cartford Inn is only a few miles from many local places of interest. Close by are the towns of Blackpool, Cleveleys and Garstang. The nearest train station, Poulton-le-Fylde, is a short drive away and the inn is easily reached from the M6 and the M55.

The Cartford Inn has also been named as a Visit England 'Inspector's Choice' venue.

Please note: only children under the age of 12 are allowed in the family and twin rooms.
